PROVO, Utah ( ABC4 ) — Utah County authorities are reminding the public to avoid Bridal Veil Falls as debris left behind by an avalanche earlier this year is creating an unsafe environment for hiking. Located in Provo Canyon, Bridal Veil Falls is usually considered a relatively easy route with a 1.4-mile out-and-back trail that takes about 30 minutes to complete. However, an avalanche in January has caused a huge amount of snow and mud to spill over the trail. Despite it being officially closed for avalanche cleanup, officials say there are visitors who would still enter and climb on the debris.
